WOMEN. POETRY : MIGRATION - Tecno-Libro

Women : Poetry : Migration is .a 328 page .anthology of 50 acclaimed .international .women poets, all living in countries other than .countries in which they were born. . Jane Joritz-Nakagawa has undertaken a remarkable editorial task in bringing together avant-garde women poets who are also migrants. if, as Susan Suleiman wrote, the avant-garde woman poet is doubly marginalised, then these poets are in a triple lock of marginalisation. Yet, as the anthology demonstrates, this can be a source of strength and transformation, which gives them a centrality, not only in their own lives, but in the cultural development of their adopted country. indeed, some of these poets have played a crucial role in shaking up mainstream poetics.
